Bridget's Black '47

By Dorothy Perkyns

Bridget Quinlan is a spirited 13-year-old when the Irish potato famine of the 1840s shatters her life. When the Quinlans are forced to accept the offer of a passage to Canada, appalling conditions onboard contribute to many deaths so that by the time they reach Grosse Ile, Quebec, Bridget and her sister are alone in the world.
